From Library Journal
This is a translation of the classical Arabic text of Kunh ma la Budda Lilmurid Minh , written by a major Sufi theologian of the 13th century A.D. Ibn al-'Arabi, the most prolific of all the Sufi writers, was considered heretical by the orthodox Muslims yet was esteemed and embraced by many of the mystics of Islam as "al-shaykh al-akbar," the greatest spiritual leader. Ibn al-'Arabi's influence can be found as far away as medieval Europe, where his writings were thought to have influenced Dante. This translation of three short essays and poems, as well as Ibn al-'Arabi's collection of Sufi terms is translated by two devotees who introduce the collection with a short narrative of Ibn al-'Arabi's life and thoughts. While a welcome addition to the body of literature available in translation, this work remains of select interest.
